The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution 

Reflection 390 Based on the 1965 Vatican II document: 
Decree on Eastern Churches
- Articles 7-11
(Comments welcome here)

 

These articles speak about the patriarchates of the Eastern Churches

Maybe someday in the "Western" church there might also be patriarchates:
An African Patriarchate, a South Asian Patriarchate, a East Asian Patriarchate,
a South East Asian Patriarchate, a Pacific Patriarchate, a South American Patriarchate
a North American Patriarchate and a European Patriarchate

Well, what do you know.
Joseph Ratzinger once suggested the same thing!

Jesus, please bring on the patriarchates!
